Disassembly
3.4.1 Note
Before disassembly remove the batteries.
3.4.2 Tools
Normal workshop tools for work on small electronic assemblies are required; the
only additional items that are essential are a number T06 and T08 Torx driver. Do
not attempt to use other tools to remove the Torx headed screws as damage will
result.
3.4.3 Capsule removal only
If it is necessary to remove the capsule, then follow the instructions below. If the
FlashMic is being completely dismantled, then it is easier to remove the capsule
later on. In that case, start at section “Keypad removal“.To remove the capsule on
its own, without dismantling the end cap or the removing the AF board, first
remove the protective basket [001] by unscrewing counter-clockwise, when
viewed from the top of the microphone. Ensure that the coloured ring is not
misplaced when the basket is removed. Be careful not to damage or touch the front
elements of the capsule. Next unscrew the barrel of the microphone [004] from the
end cap; this is also removed by unscrewing anticlockwise, when viewed from the
capsule end. Pull the barrel forward away from the end cap, this will expose the
battery compartment lid [001] and allow access to the screw [004], which holds
the capsule in place. Remove screw [004] then push the barrel back toward the
end cap and the capsule can be gently pulled from the chassis [005].
